This February, we collected a small bouquet of gifts from our designers and makers: if you want to surprise each other anytime (including Valentine's Day) with something homemade, you can always come back to this!
Don't get me wrong: we're not encouraging mindless spending on the holiday of love, but good things are certainly worth celebrating - and if someone doesn't want to give an experience, kindness, or a homemade gift, we don't think it's a bad idea to choose a domestic delicacy/product that you can eat or use together later.
Now, in the first round, we selected everything between 590 HUF and 5900 HUF, so there really are many choices, according to everyone's taste, preferences, and budget.
1. The Green Guide Budapest postcards feature many lesser-known squares, parks, streets and interesting places from the capital. If you have a favorite place you go for a walk from time to time, maybe your first date park, or the street of your current or old apartment is on the graphic, such a card can be a great gift with a few kind words or an invitation on the back.

2. We wouldn't have much to explain our choice: the graphics made using the risograph technique are a double hit for couples who love plants, and you can find them here in the form of both an A6-sized postcard and an A5-sized print.

3. Have a nice toast at home (or anywhere else) with the small-brewed MONYÓ beers available at our store, right now you can choose from 6 varieties in the store: Cherry Hero for those who like fruity beers, Dead Rabbit for those who like citrus-bitter beers (and for the brave because of its 9.1% alcohol content), Flying Rabbit for IPA fans, Black Mamba for those who are experimental (with vanilla and oatmeal aromas), American Beauty for those who want a lighter, honeyed Pale Ale and Bipolar Bear for those who want a White IPA.

4. Greeting cards made with a 100+ year old letterpress machine, on rustic paper, with beautiful graphics, which you can later display in a small frame.

5. One for you, one for her, the formula is that simple: thin, plant-dyed bracelets knotted by hand, in every color of the rainbow.

6. Handmade soaps from a family-run factory in the heart of Pilis: give each other incredibly delicate scents (especially relevant this year) that are organic, not tested on animals, fair trade, and made from premium ingredients.
Cocoon soaps, 1700 Ft
7. You can find 4 types of completely unique, hand-shaped wooden cutlery here: it's a great gift on its own, but if you combine it with an invitation to a nice hike, picnic or summer camping - or even a cookout together, you can be sure of huge smiles.

8. A little organic lavender oil can be kept at home, at work, in the car, or practically anywhere. You can put it in a diffuser while you relax or even on your pillow before going to sleep (but you can also use it as a DIY massage oil by adding it to a suitable base oil).
Szomódi Lavender essential oils , 2500 Ft
9. A new version of the well-known chemical-free tea blends from Beh Mariann: this time in the form of spicy black tea with the addition of black rowan, orange, hibiscus, cloves, pink pepper and rose in two packaging types: now you can find it in a glass jar (50g) and a paper bag (100g).

10. Hands up if you want to get one of these and hang it on your wall right away - it's also a great idea to give it as a surprise with a self-made frame, and the little heart is a very cute little detail on the screen print, which is available in two colors.
11. Without a recommendation: a large, delicious, organic Furmint, good toast in the kitchen!

12. It's easy to find joy with Greenway candles: they have delicate scents, a soy wax base, are hand-poured in Ildi's workshop, and are accompanied by exceptionally beautiful home and lifestyle photos every week.

13. Cook together, mark recipes in advance: Kata Vida's recently published book , a vegetarian and mostly vegan recipe collection, proves that it is easy to make colorful and varied dishes from Hungarian ingredients. In addition to the walnut beetroot cream, zucchini with blue cheese, and curry carrot cream, the indispensable - mostly gluten-free - snacks are also ideal for those on various diets. In addition to the recipes, we also get lots of useful tips for buying and storing vegetables and eating environmentally conscious.

14. Free Love Statue: Penguins show that free love exists naturally when they choose a same-sex partner. " Same-sex relationships occur in hundreds of species in nature, according to researchers. In the penguin world, there are heterosexuals, bisexuals, and homosexuals. Several studies have shown that more than a third of male penguins flirt with other males. In many cases, they have also been documented courting and mating with each other. They can even hatch eggs to become fathers."

15. For those who are addicted to home decoration, a beautiful bouquet of dried flowers can always come in handy to brighten up the common areas, and it can stay with you for many, many years, reminding you both of the gift!
